TUESDAY 12PM: Please join us on Halloween for a scary Tuesday - scary, that is, if you think about Trump's war on women. Elissa Goss, Political Director of NARAL Pro-Choice Washington, will speak about how we can fight back against the administration's interference with women's freedoms and equality.

As usual, we will enter the federal building immediately after the rally for a meeting with Senate staffers. Also as usual (from now through December), we will be gathering signatures for De-Escalate Washington's I-940 ballot initiative for better police training and accountability.https://www.facebook.com/events/1949701538389971/

Volunteers Needed:

Volunteers are needed to gather signatures for I-940 at Monday's Pramila Jayapal town hall (6:00-7:30, Plymouth Church Seattle United Church of Christ, 1217 6th Ave, Seattle, WA, 98101). Please contact volunteers@seattleindivisible.com if you can help.

-----Elections are coming. On November 7, in just 9 days, Virginia and New Jersey will be electing new governors and legislatures, Seattle will hold elections for city council, mayor, and school board, some of our neighboring cities, such as Bellevue, Shoreline, Tukwila, and Burien will also be electing part of their city councils, all of King County will get to vote for county executive, sheriff, and port commissioners, and some of you lucky enough to live in the 45th LD on the Eastside or the 31st LD in Southeast King/Northeast Pierce counties, will have the chance to flip our state Senate.

Now, getting out the vote doesn't necessarily mean going out in the rain and knocking on doors (even though that's fun). You can do it from home. We need you to make calls and texts to Virginia. Why Virginia? Virginia might look like a blue state - after all, their last 4 senate elections have gone to Democrats, the last 3 presidential elections have gone to Democrats, and the current governor is a Democrat. But look below the surface, and you see some problems. Of their 11 representatives in the House, 7 are Republicans. Why? Gerrymandering. But we can fix this. The people that Virginians elect on November 7 will have some control over the next round of redistricting. Winning back states from GOP control is the crucial first step towards a level playing field. Indivisible is looking for people nationally to make calls and texts to Virginia voters.
